Highlights from League One clash as Bradford City defeat Scunthorpe United 3-2

Scunthorpe United face a massive game in their fight for survival when they face Bradford City this afternoon.

The Iron dropped into the relegation zone on Easter Monday and now they have two games to try and maintain their League One status.

The Iron face an already-relegated Bantams side and realistically nothing other than a win will do if they are to maintain their hopes of avoiding the drop.

However, they come into the game on the back of a 4-0 defeat they suffered at the hands of Charlton on Monday, which left them one point off safety. But the Bantams are on a poor run themselves having lost seven of their past eight games and already know they will spend next season in League Two.
